                           PRESENTATION 
 
        These last years have seen the multiplication of 3D images due to
the
development and improvement of new acquisition devices (CT-Scan, MR, 3D
ultrasound, confocal microscopy, seismic imagery, Cyberware range laser,
etc.)
in several application fields (medicine, molecular biology, geology,
industry,
paleontology, etc.). Such 3D images are very large, difficult to interact
with,
and contain very complex non-polyhedral structures.  In order to obtain
precise
and reliable results within a reasonable computation time, 3D image
processing
algorithms are very often based on "models", i.e., simplified and synthetic
representations of complex entities.  
 
This workshop will be an opportunity to gather people from different fields
(Computer Vision, Medical Imaging, Industry, etc.) to present their research
and results, to exchange ideas, and to discuss model-based 3D image
analysis.
There are three main axes for the workshop:
 
     o Design of a model. What to model? Mathematical formulations? How to
infer
model parameters from a database? Geometry Modeling Shape Modeling Physical
Modeling Mechanical Modeling Motion/Deformation Modeling Morphometric Tools
Atlas Construction Deformable Models Virtual Worlds ...  
 
     o Utilization of a model. How to use the model to represent structures
as
well as their properties? Model-Based Segmentation Model-Based Matching and
Tracking Model-Guided Registration Physical Simulation Morphometric Analysis
Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality ...  
 
     o Applications. Examples of concrete implementations of model-based 3D
image analysis. 
 
The workshop is composed of 12 oral presentations of 25-minutes and a key
note
talk given by an authoritative person of the field, Prof. Mike Brady, Oxford
University. Texts of presentations will be published in proceedings that
will
be available for the workshop.
